Python. Get full storage information
Hello. How can I display the full size of my storage using python?
I was able to get only the occupied volume:
print(dbx.users_get_space_usage().used)
The only thing I could do was get this:
print(dbx.users_get_space_usage().allocation)
Result:
SpaceAllocation('individual', IndividualSpaceAllocation(allocated=2147483648))
I don't know how to extract "allocated" from here.
vas1992 Здравко is correct; here's what a simple usage of this may look like:
allocation = dbx.users_get_space_usage().allocation if allocation.is_individual(): print("Individual allocation:") print(allocation.get_individual().allocated) elif allocation.is_team(): print("Team allocation:") print(allocation.get_team().allocated)

Hi vas1992,
You can do it like any other field on any other object in Python (as programing language). Just read what you have got in documentation. 'users_get_space_usage' method returns SpaceUsage class object. You have successful get in touch to 'used' field of this object (type int). 👍
The other field of the same object - 'allocation' - is not basic type, but another object! The object's type is SpaceAllocation - an union of individual and team allocation data. Since your account is individual (in the particular case, but you should check it in a common case), 'get_individual' method is applicable. This method result is of type IndividualSpaceAllocation class. I believe it's easy to see that field 'allocated' can be accessed here (int type) in the same way you are accessing 'used' field before. 😉 Take a look here too.
Hope this clarifies matter.
Something I did not understand at all. It is possible as much as possible in detail, for stupid?
I use:
print(dropbox.users.SpaceAllocation('individual', value=None).get_individual())
I am getting an error:
